Vital information: Make: Gateway 2000 Processor: Intel 80386 with 64k cache. NO floating point co-processor. Mother board: Micronics 386 ASIC cache Processor speed: 25Mhz Main Memory: 4 Meg. Disk: 110Meg ESDI Disk controler: Ultrastor ultra 12(F) Monitor: 1024x780 VGA Tatung model CM-1498X Video controler: OEM-VGA-300190 (says VGA-WONDER on the card) Video BIOS: ATI wonder date: 2/20/90 version: 1.16e Serial controler: DIO-500 Multi-I/O card First of all I want to thank all of you who responded to my problem with not being able to access my second serial port. The problem was the sdevice config file: sdevice should have the lines: asy Y 1 7 1 4 3f8 3ff 0 0 asy Y 1 7 1 3 2f8 2ff 0 0 A lack of the "Y" as the second entry is what was causing my problem. The last (Naa, better make that the current) problem I am having, is that I am unable to put my VGA card into 80x43 mode. I used the ioctl call ioctl (fd, SW_ENHC80x43, 0); but it just clears my screen and make it where I can't see what I am typing. When I use the ioctl call: ioctl (fd, SW_ENHC80x25, 0); It cleans things up, but I would like to be able to put my screen into 43 line mode. As a test I went into the VP/IX and started up the Norton utility that lets you set the background color and line per screen etc, etc, and it worked just fine, so it is possible for the card to be put into this mode. Is there another configuration file somewhere that I need to set to tell Interactive what kind of VGA card I have? I did the ioctl that returns what kind of display it thinks it is has, and it returned VGA. By the way, does any body have an auto-logout program for modem lines that are inactive for a specified amount of time?
